A CIL file is an XML file created when a user saves or exports data from the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT). The following table lists all tags contained in a complete CIL file. Selecting the Export only Installation ID and Product ID option in the Save List As dialog box excludes all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from the CIL. The column on the right in the table indicates the fields that are excluded from the CIL file only when the Export only Installation ID and Product ID option is selected from the Save List As dialog box from the context-sensitive Actions menu.

Following this table are two sample CIL files. Both represent the same client products. The first sample shows a complete CIL file; the second sample shows the contents of the same CIL file when it has been saved with the Export only Installation ID and Product ID option selected.
